Next winner of ‘Asia’s Next Top Model’ could be from Bali

Bali’s known for its beauty from rice paddy and beach landscapes to gorgeous food, but its women are also said to be world class beauties.

One Balinese babe is proving on reality TV that this is fact.

The latest season of Asia’s Next Top Model (AsNTM), cycle 3, is scheduled to start on March 25, a mere two days away. It just so turns out that from the 14 model contestants, one woman is from Bali.

Identified on her AsNTM3 profile  as Tahlia Raji, the Balinese babe says her favorite feature is her eyes and lips and her biggest phobia is “being alone at night when it’s raining.” So Indonesian.

18-year-old Raji just graduated from school and moved to Jakarta to pioneer her modeling career, according to Kompas. Making it into this competition seems like a pretty good way to start out a career.

Raji is joined by two other contestants from the archipelago, Rani Ramadhany and Ayu Gani.

Team Indonesia:

Whether or not you’re a fan of women doing whatever it takes to be the model on top, we think we can all appreciate how great it is that there’s a Bali beauty representing out there.

Here’s a pic Raji posted to Instagram of herself at the show’s pre-screening:
